Speaking as a member of the media for years, in situations like this... we get facts wrong a lot. A lot. We may get information from police and fire scanners which is speculative and STILL pass it on. Information disseminated from law enforcement to me on a scene, then me to my producer, then my producer to the anchor, then the anchor to the viewer - it can be a bad game of telephone.
So using all these clips of TV affiliates spouting all of this information, in my opinion, is just mis-information. Them trying to scoop other stations. Hearsay. Whatever.
